Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

September 26, 7451

The fighting taking place in the village of Honkulu was on its way to the Good Land.

"There it is! Push it in!"

The Commander of the Augur Regiment, and the members of the regiment under orders from Zaboin, charge towards the fence at once.

Of course, it is a place without traps (and therefore without failing to build a fence).

”Guuuuuu!”

"Aaahhh!"

A spear thrust out of the gap by the fence-guarding Lombard army resulted in several casualties.

However, this degree of damage is naturally woven in as a necessary damage.

- Shit! It's hard to defend against boulders.

Zaboin heard the screams of his minions, and his heart was blurred.

The fence that is erected to protect the village's arable land is built on the inside of the fence at a distance of about three meters from the surrounding forest.

There is also the advantage of being able to use the forest trees to defend against the fence, but more than that, there is only a few meters of momentum to charge, and when trying to move between the forest and the fence, the bow naturally pulls even the spear into the attack range.

In short, if you try to run sideways in front of a fence that seems to have a relatively good scaffolding when attacking a certain location and retreating for some reason, you will get caught in a trap or become a prey for spears and bows from within the fence.

If there is a follower who does not seem to retreat, it will cause confusion, and if so, it will cause more damage to the worker.

In addition, it is difficult to gather troops in the forest with poor scaffolding so as not to charge against this place. (If you are close to 10m or 20m, you will be targeted with a bow by drifting rocks), it is difficult to take the assault formation.

That said, there is a considerable difference in the number of people, and the level of training of the soldiers is almost the same.

The Augur Corps has taken a lot of damage, but they've done the same to their opponents.

And if the cavalry that is circling the fence north and south can break through into the cultivated land, the crowd will be determined.

Attacks by Uncle Junkel's infantry are also taking place on the right (north) side of the Augur Regiment, and it still looks like they're taking the same toll, but they're definitely hurting.

And finally.

It looks like the Augur Army's heavy cavalry has broken through Lombert's defenses from the north.

--Taxi... you've done a great job.

When Zaboin relaxed his mouth, he felt like he heard his son screaming at the heavily armored cavalry.

Uncle Junkel's cavalry, which also came in from the south side of the fence, began their assault.

Zaboin missed his son's assault scene because he was so busy attacking the fence.

What's the funniest thing to do on the battlefield?

When asked, Zaboine replied, not one, not two, "I'm about to break through the opponent's defenses with an allied cavalry charge."

Although there may be various opinions from people, I think it is the most pleasant scene for Zaboin who has worked on the battlefield for many years.

After checking the situation again and deciding that he would have some time to look elsewhere, Zaboin turned his attention to the cavalry charge on the south side.

- Huh? Can you take it in that formation?

The cavalry of the country is made up of about fifty horsemen.

There seemed to be a few knights mixed in with flashily decorated helmets, and they stood out from here.

A knight who was introduced to you when you entered Jarrow Village?

On the other hand, the cavalry with black dyed metal armor (plate mail) seems to dominate the receiving Rombert Kingdom, but it may be the Commander who is wearing non-black dyed armor.

In any case, that number will be less than half of us.

It seemed to be spreading it almost across the corps.

I can't take it that way.

I even wondered if the person who commands that cavalry was inexperienced or stupid.

And it's fine.

The cavalrymen of the kingdom kicked the cavalry in the stomach.

Ah?

Zaboin unintentionally leaks his voice.

As soon as the Romberg cavalry formed a spindle formation and started to charge, the Romberg cavalry divided their troops from the middle of the crosshairs and started to charge back as if they were leading the charge against the cavalry at the left and right ends.

The speed was so steep that it seemed unlikely that a knight wearing heavy metal armor (plate mail) was on board.

- Hmm. How could the Lombard Kingdom Army be so skilled? "But that's..."

They're literally breaking through the middle.

After that, the cultivated land is spread out with very few interrupters.

The moment I thought so.

--Ohh...

The Knight of Romberg who was ahead of him was probably quite skilled.

With a horseback spear (Lance), the spear (Spear) and the shield-only Rombert knight almost sacrificially disrupted our cavalry formation and pushed into it like a cone in an unstoppable column.

It looks like a bunch of knights behind half of our cavalry just got taken out.

--Oh my gosh! The strength of the Ronbelt Knight...

Shortly afterwards, Zaboin remembered a report from a scout who had previously sent him into the Demacar Mountains that “the commander of the Rombert in black armor was well-mannered.”

The scouts reported that they were "infantry commanders patrolling the mountains" and that they were "like Rombert's mountain warriors", so they were no longer linked to the cavalry.

Even with the same "black armor", it was difficult to think that the commander of the mountain infantry unit was defending the village on a military horse.

- Tch, that's the black armor that's been kneaded. Those numbers... you're not a troop commander. There must be a lot of them.

Suddenly Zaboin was worried about her son, and she turned to the north.

As we saw during the first assault, the Augur Army's heavy cavalry were clashing with infantry units equipped with spears (pike), and several mixed commanders weren't wearing black armor.

I was relieved by the condition for a while.

Four cavalrymen in black armor charged at the heavy cavalry like arrows.



Commanding the Augur Army's heavy cavalry, Tux rejoiced at the doomsday of enemy infantry from Spear's tip.

Even though I made a few sacrifices in my first assault, I was able to disrupt the Pike formation.

Pike Troops who have been stormed by cavalry have no choice but to rely on their individual strengths without properly forming sidelines or lines.

It was quite fragile, as long as it didn't disturb the formation.

Looks like we've decided on a lot of battles here.

Knock out any remaining Pike soldiers who can't be regrouped, and smash them behind enemy infantry units guarding the fence so they can break the fence, no matter how stupid they are.

And if the 60-mount infiltration unit that was on standby as a reserve force breaks through the fence, Rombert will have little choice but to defend the village settlement.

The settlement is surrounded by a fence, but by the time it retreats to that point, many will have been taken out, and there are only a few hundred of them to defend the entire fence surrounding the settlement.

I don't know if the number of attackers is less than the number of defenders (receivers), but it is about double.

That's probably why Rombert built a fence specializing in a single point of defense without the foolishness of dragging a cage to the encampment to fortify the defense from the beginning.

In the first place, I didn't know how much power the Rombert side was using to push against Honkulu Village, and it seemed that they couldn't adopt any tactics to abandon the cultivated land from the beginning.

With very little information, I could not place a bet, and as the Rombert Kingdom Army defending Honkulu Village, this operation was almost the only one nearby.

"Olaaaaaaaa!!"

Defeat another Pike soldier with a powerful spear piercing.

There's already a line of veteran cavalry on either side of the taxi that's solidifying our defenses.

At this rate, we'll be able to pierce the backs of the infantry, who are really close to defending the fence.

But.

”Niiiiiiiiiing!”

Looking like a woman, a Rombert cavalryman with a slightly high voice and a spear is coming in.

The number is less than five riders.

Although we have reduced the number somewhat, it is a small number that is less than 10% of us.

That said, the Cavalry Assault is dangerous.

"Joyce! Take them...!"

Oh, my God!

I ordered one of my closest men to intercept me, who kept about 10 riders, and Tax himself was going to focus on reducing the number of Pike soldiers.

And one more.

You either panic, or you cry and kill a young soldier trying to swing a long pike.

"Ugh!?"

"Giggle!!"

Several screams were followed by the sound of a cavalryman in metal armor falling.

Inadvertently, I turned my gaze to that direction.

"What the hell!?"

Joyce's unit, which was supposed to have intercepted the Rombert cavalry that had come in a short distance, had been brittle and broken through.

However, it appears that the Rombert cavalry were using Spears to replace Lance, and they were forced to let Spears go because they had skewered our cavalry.

Apparently, Rombert's cavalry had only four riders and no followers.

Rombert's cavalry threw away all the spears and pulled out the longsword from his waist, joining up with the rest of the Joyce Corps.

I only saw it for a very short time, but even though it was an armed weapon with a difference in reach, I could see that everyone was frighteningly skilful.

After all, I used a long sword to sharpen and miss the spear that had been poked out, and I ran a sharp thrust into the gap in the heavy cavalry's armor and almost took it down with a single blow.

Even though he was a subordinate, the taxi was also falling in love with him. It was a very skilled trade.

- What are they...!?

Soon after Tax thought so, he saw another rescue team arrive at one of the Joyce Corps, which was in disarray.

"This is how it is..."

The cavalryman, who was positioned at the end of the four horsemen, was pushed with a spear from three people, and one of them was paid with a long sword, and one of them was taken out with a shield, and the last one was missed and pushed to the abdomen, and he was crushed to death by his subordinate's horse.

― ― Although it was a hand-kneading thing, there were a lot of people out there. I feel sorry for you.

It was probably a stronger cavalry than the Augur Army's heavy cavalry.

There will be no one in the cavalry who can beat him one-on-one.

That, of course, is true of the three remaining cavalrymen.

When Tux smiled, he said to his subordinates, who hardened their sides, "Follow me! commanded Rombert's cavalry to advance their horses.

"Hey, you guys!"

At the same time, he yelled at the Romberg cavalry.

He was encouraged to surrender and thought of incorporating the Augur regiment as his subordinate.



As Zaboine, I didn't think that the Augur Army's heavy cavalry would be the same as the Four.

The kneading I saw in the battle on the south side would do some damage, but the Augur Cavalry had a lot of kneading.

Even my son, Tux, was not as powerful as a cavalryman.

However, it seemed that there was no one in the Augur Regiment who wanted to be an enemy of the black armored cavalry.

Even though I was worried here, there was nothing Zaboin could do.

All he can do now is break the fence.

"Tsk."

While tonguing, he returned to the battle in front of him.

If you can break it in one place with the size of that, you can make 60-capacity cavalry waiting behind the street.

Either way, our cavalry around the fence will not change the outcome, even if they pierce the back or sides of the enemy defense forces.

If the garrison was thin, I could break that kind of defensive fence right away.

"Shoot!!"

Immediately after my subordinates' orders to bind the archers, a large number of arrows flew over Zaboin's head.

The enemy soldiers beyond the fence put their shields overhead and defended.

However, quite a few of the arrows that were fired were blocked by the forest trees, which is not very effective.

But it looks like some of them got hit.

Arrows have also been fired from enemy territory, but they appear to be aimed directly rather than curved fire, as we are, and they appear to be firing individually rather than by force action.

As for the large group, there was no gap between the infantry in the front, so there was no choice.

At most, I could shoot arrows from both sides of the infantry, but because of the short distance between the forest and the fence, I could not take many rays that would not be disturbed by the trees, and I did not say that I would let the archers go forward.

To do this, we must always have a shield to prevent arrows from the enemy.

If I did that, I would definitely get one hand for Spear's penetration.

With enemies holding spears and bows by the fence, it's hard to retreat easily, and if you retreat, you'll be headed to intercept by a cavalry force that has swarmed from the defense of the fence.

Even so, if it was that much difference in power, I would have to fall into a fall.

Then the damage will be even greater.

This is completely repugnant as an attacker, but in the first place it was intended to be an attack close to an ambush.

And, from the defensive posture of this Honkulu village, it is almost close to what was expected.

We should pay tribute to the Rombert side, which has managed to lay down so many defenses in so little time and with so few heads.

"I wish you had been honest about retreating to the settlement..."

The adjacent First Officer muttered in a disgusting voice.

Even as Zaboin, his words were a full affirmation, but he did not reply.

In the first place, if you think about it with common sense, even if you only have about half the strength of your companions, you can hold your guard in the camp and wait for reinforcements.

Zaboin would have done the same for the defending commander.

--Because I don't have reinforcements...!? Mount Demacar's troops have been successfully attracted...?

It is said that most of the Lombard Kingdom troops stationed around here are in Frakis, and their number is usually around 600.

Even if they were reading about Uncle Junkel's invasion, their strength would not increase suddenly.

This village of Honkulu and the village of Jallow, which was recently captured, is beside the Junker Kingdom, which can be said to be an enemy group from the Lombard Kingdom.

It is not as dangerous as the Southern Front, which continues to skirmish with the Kingdom of Daybus, but it is said to be a triggering danger zone.

Moreover, the Duke of Bertels, who ruled this land on the side of the Kingdom of Lombardy, had the Knights of the Homeland at a size comparable to that of other territories.

If you feel like it, you can call for some reinforcements.

Moreover, since the Junker Empire was part of the Granan Empire and there was a non-combat agreement between the Granan Empire and the Lombard Kingdom, excessive stationing of troops was avoided, especially on the side of the Lombard Kingdom.

The ambush was like a promise from the beginning.

As I remembered, when I looked at my son, the four knights of Romberg seemed to be surrounded by the Augur Squad.



I knew it, but Ronbert's cavalry did not follow Tux's surrender recommendations.

Besides, the remaining three knights defeated three Augur cavalrymen with the help of Lion Rapid.

It was true that the three people who had been defeated had inadvertently attacked because they were surrounded, but even so, it was an event that made them feel a huge difference in their ability.

- Well, let's get this over with!

Tux decided to be prepared and instructed her to narrow the enclosure of the Trident as if she were going to crush it.

And the moment the cavalry surrounding them began to move to narrow the siege.

The three-knight Lombert cavalry suddenly charged towards a siege point as if they had shown each other.

- What is it!?

Even though he was looking in a completely different direction, such as a one-rider who was seriously injured in his left arm and suffered a puncture wound from Spear on both legs, the taxi looks up at the behavior at a time that is almost perfect.

Also, the direction they charge is where Taxi is.

Of course, it is also a direction that cannot be said to be flimsy.

A cavalryman with a wound on his left arm swings a long sword in his right hand to approach the taxi in a seemingly manipulative motion.

Tux thrusts his spear at the cavalry.

It seemed like Spear's tip could bounce off the long sword wielded by the cavalry.

In fact, considering the man's tactics, it was no surprise.

However, the tip of the taxi was thrust into the thin armor of the cavalry's flanks without being bounced off.

The cavalry pushed a long sword into the cavalry's chest as they approached to support the taxi, and immediately released their swords and grabbed the taxi's spear and dropped themselves.

"Ah!?"

Tux, who had his spear ripped off, rushed to his left hip to pull out the longsword.

Oops!

Another rider pushed into the taxi as if they were hitting the body.

He shakes his head in a hurry and puts a spurt on his horse's belly.

I was able to dodge the frontal collision without facing it, but the last rider was going around and charging.

Judging from the design and body shape of the armor's chest, it must be a woman.

Looking at the ears popping out of the helmet I was wearing, I noticed that it looked like the Hagi (Bunny Man).

The eyes clenching from the back of the helmet glowed calmly.

Tax understands when he sees it.

- They were aiming for this!

There was no room to hold the pulled-out longsword, and it was found that a cold blade was pushed between the slits with only a small gap.

--Nh, nnh... such an idiot.

Sir Lardock, who took a heavy toll on the cavalry commander, managed to escape the siege while he was critically wounded.
